| Projects Corner: Spotlight on September |
|
|
Here are the upcoming projects for the rest of September:
9/22 & 9/29 - Kid's House of Seminole - around 8am. Address: 5467 N. Ronald Reagan Blvd, Sanford. This is an open opportunity for volunteers to show up and help make their clubhouse. It will be a few hours of "hands on" work and to meet other Rotarians from other clubs. This is a great opportunity for new and seasoned members.
Here's a sneak peek at October's projects:
10/9 - Partners in Democracy - a series of election tending programs where we can raise $500 each time for a couple of hours. Please contact Bill Hufford.
10/12 Coalition for the Homeless at 5:30pm. Talk to Bill Allen (the Head Chef) for ahead of time prep help or volunteering at the night. A great volunteer experience serving food.
10/24 School Essay Contest at 7:30am. Contact Sandi Solomon. A great way to see how one of these types of programs are done.

| Request for a Host Family |
|
|
From Denny, our District Governor:
This is a special request from John Siegel, our district Youth Exchange Chair. We would need 3 families from the same school district, (hosts need not be Rotarians nor from the same club)
WE NEED A HOST FAMILY FOR A GIRL FROM BRAZIL THAT WANTS TO FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR. THE COMMITMENT IS THREE DIFFERENT FAMILIES, EACH FOR 90 DAYS. IF YOU KNOW OF A FAMILY (OPEN TO NON ROTARY AND ROTARY FAMILIES) THAT WOULD HOST HER PLEASE LET ME KNOW. WE HAD A HOST FAMILY, BUT THE HIGH SCHOOL WOULD NOT TAKE AN EXCHANGE STUDENT. WE HOW HAVE A GIRL READY TO COME TO ORLANDO WITH NO HOST FAMILY. PLEASE LOOK HARD FOR A FAMILY, AS WE DO NOT TO DISAPPOINT THIS GIRL.
